For me, C#.

The only language I would ever write a contest in, C++!

Wrote in Java last year. Tried to learn C++ last week; gave up and wrote in Java again. Will of course learn C++ if I make it to stage 2 ;P

Java. I wanted to do it in Haskell, but it doesn't seem like that's an option.

C++... I practiced on the past senior problems, which when taking more than one input from a file, it took input up to the next space or new line. I chickened out (as I can also write it next year) and took the junior competition, which requires console input, of which I only know cin.getLine(). I did not realize until j3 that more than one input would be placed on one line, so I had to learn, during the competition, how to tokenize a string in C++. Of course I made errors in pointer arithmetic, and it ended up taking me 45-60 minutes to make a tokenizer, which is why I only had 20 minutes to try and do j5, which I failed to do. I kinda wish I would have picked senior...

Python, I did a bunch of practise questions in C, but I had no idea how to do any of this set in C (without wasting needed time)

[edit]
c++:
#include <iostream>
int main(void) {
    int somenthing;
    cin >> something;
    return 0;
}

Will read a single integer, and then can be used again to get the next, not mattering if it's on the same line, or the next (ignores whitespace)

hate pointers... one of the main reasons i switched from c++ to c#

What's the big deal with pointers? I've never had an issue with them (well, I did once, but that was caused by me not knowing the order of operations with unary reference operator, and array indexing operator).

I generally avoid pointer arithmetic though, in a loop I'll use change an integer, and use that to retrieve array indices, instead of storing a pointer to the array index I'm working with.

According to Google, this is fast enough on a modern computer to warrant having no support for pointer arithmetic in Go, so that's good enough for me Smile

[edit] I guess there's very little relevancy in this post.

I used Ruby. I had a lot of reviewing to do on it during the contest, looking up methods and such, so I only had time for S1 and S2. Was worth it though. First contest not in Turing or Java!

I haven't written it yet, but I plan to definitely use Java.
